200g icing sugar
about 2 tbsp lemon juice

Method
1. Simmer the honey, sugar and water in a little pot (make sure not to bring it to the boil). The sugar should dissolve.
2. Chop the lemon & orange peel.
3. Add the flour, hazelnuts, orange peel, lemon peel, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, lemon zest, cocoa powder, mixed spice in a bowl and mix together. Add the lemon/honey mixture and knead. Add the milk.
4. Cover the dough with foil and let it rest in the fridge for about 6 hours. You can also prepare it the night before.
5. Divide the dough into portions and form into rolls of about 2cm in diameter.
Put the rolls onto a baking tray and bake for about 10-15 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius. They can still be soft when you take them out of the oven.
6. Make the glazing and brush onto the bread, let it dry and then cut into a diamond shape and store in a tin. Enjoy!
